“Umbilical cord was wound around her neck” Thee Pluto’s baby mama narrates complication with their baby

1 min read

Thee Pluto and his girlfriend Felicity Shiru were blessed with a bouncing baby girl Zoey Pluto on November 4, 2022.

Zoey was safely delivered at Komarock Modern Healthcare at 9:14 am.

“Nimetimiza ndoto zangu kwa kumpata mwanangu. Karibu duniani mtoto wangu @zoey_pluto Umenibadilishia jina nikawa mzazi na ukanipa heshima. Nakuombea Maisha mema. My true love ❤️.”

“(My dreams have come true for getting a child. Welcome to the world, my child. You’ve changed my name to a parent now and given me respect. I pray for you to have a good life),” Thee Pluto wrote.

Speaking on their YouTube channel, Felicity revealed that there was a complication with her pregnancy and that she had to undergo an emergency Cesarean delivery (C-section) after it was discovered the baby had the cord wrapped around her.

“The baby’s umbilical cord was wound around her neck. It has been noted on the first scan but I had to take another scan to confirm the same,” she said.

Felicity says the doctors had hoped the baby would play around and the cord would undo itself but that did not happen.

The nuchal cord, or when a baby’s umbilical cord is wrapped around her neck, is one such condition that can conjure up exceptionally scary problems for a safe delivery.

Such cords become problematic when the cord is wrapped tightly around the baby, which can restrict blood flow and potentially cause acidosis and anemia.
